Output volume level has almost nothing to do with where a guitarist
sets his amplifier's gain control.

If you want distortion you should overload your pre-amp. You would be much
better off getting a valve preamp and adding a couple of extra stages before
the output valves.

While that sounds like a great thing in theory ( and essentially provided the
business model for Mesa Boogie amplifiers ), it is not exactly
the same thing. This is why people buy and use Fender Champs for
recording.
